## Resource

Leicester’s long-dormant Palais De Danse, once a gritty Sosho nightclub, is set for a major comeback after city council approval — this time as a vibrant mixed-use hub featuring Bee Supermarket’s expansion, a café, three small shops, and takeout space. Designed to breathe new life into the neglected Lee Circle and Humberstone Gate district, the project aims to combat urban decay and boost downtown energy. Though a similar plan for 42 apartments was approved in 2018 but never built, this new proposal has a hard deadline: start construction within three years or risk losing approval. Could this be the spark that revitalizes a forgotten corner of the city? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
